You may use a laptop in library,or work too late with your computer,or leave your computer working by a shutdown command, and you may worry about that it may makes a noise when shutdown.I will tell you how to deal with it easily in the tutorial.
First,you need to open up a terminal window and execute following code to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
then add blacklist pcspkr at the end of the file as a new line,close and save it.
restart you computer and done.

Superb. Easy to understand and works a treat. Beep free at last!

Always use gksudo instead of sudo with graphical apps. Read here why: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo

But putting pcspkr in the blacklist disable all speaker sounds or only the shutdown one?

It’s a good idea if you want NO sound out of your PC speaker. This approach is all or nothing there has to be a reason the PC speaker is beeping on Shutdown. I have the same issue.

It would be nice to also understand the reason and the consequences for doing what you suggest…
Personally, I don’t follow any advice unless I understand what’s gonna happen with my system…
It’s a good tip, just would appreciate more info.
Thx.
